Congrats.

That oil leak is one that baffles many. We tend to look for the hard solutions i/o the easier ones. You're lucky you were patient! Best of luck!

You said it. Last week I took her for a drive. After I was done, I shoved paper towels under the pressure sender and wiped away the seepage along the covers. A week later the covers were still dry and the paper towels had absorbed some oil. I was incredibly pleased to see this.

I snugged up the connections yesterday and hope that there will be no more drip. But right now it is too hot to drive - forecast is "exhaustion and heat stroke" so I think I'll keep her parked until this weekend when I can get out for an early drive.

If it still drips, I have a new hollow bolt and crush washers to install.
